As mentioned, I have a laptop that was repaired from mechanical issues between the body and the monitor. For around 7 years, I have been the administrator of a family's Microsoft 365. On my laptop, it can´t be installed; the message says that another installation is present. I have nothing in the machine

    To uninstall Office or Microsoft 365 from your laptop, you can use the Microsoft 365 Uninstall troubleshooter. Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Run the Microsoft 365 Uninstall troubleshooter: Make sure you are using the same Windows device on which Microsoft 365 or the Office product is installed. Additionally, ensure that your device is running Windows 10 or a later version.
      • You can start the troubleshooter by selecting the appropriate option from the Microsoft support site.
    2. Follow the instructions: Once the troubleshooter is running, follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall Microsoft 365 or Office.
    3. Restart your device: After the uninstallation process is complete, restart your laptop.
    4. Install the correct version: If you need to reinstall Office, make sure to install the correct version that matches your Microsoft 365 license.

    If you continue to encounter issues, it may be helpful to check if there are any remnants of previous installations that could be causing conflicts. You can also check for any pending installations that might be blocking the new installation.
